Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake Cake Recipe
I wanted a salted caramel flavor to this Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake Cake recipe so I ended up using a jar of salted caramel sauce in between the layers of this cake. No the caramel is not homemade but with three of the four parts to this recipe being homemade I gave myself permission to take the easy route when it came to the caramel. The main parts of this recipe are the cheesecake chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream. And yes those parts are all made from scratch. If you want another shortcut you can always use a boxed cake mix in place of the homemade chocolate cake.
